A few months back I was lucky enough to contribute some Chinese New Year-themed desserts to a party shoot by Pure Joy Events for the online party magazine, Bird's Party. Christine liked my Tangerine Mousse so much that she asked me to share the recipe on her blog. Though this would be a great, simple dessert for any party, tangerines and oranges are especially suitable for CNY because their names in Chinese sound similar to the words for luck and wealth, respectively. They're thus are frequently given out around this time of year. Please head over to Pure Joy Events blog or if you're in a hurry, you can grab the printable recipe here!

Thanks for pointing out the error, Zack! The directions "Place the egg yolks in a heavy saucepan and add the sugar, lemon juice and tangerine juice." SHOULD ACTUALLY BE "Place the egg yolks in a heavy saucepan and add the zest, gelatin mixture, sugar, lemon juice, and tangerine juice." The error was in the original recipe from NYTimes that I adapted mine from, but I still should have noticed and corrected it earlier. Thanks a lot for pointing it out!
